The world of MTG is in turmoil as fans pointed out mid-MagicCon that the art for the upcoming The One Ring reissue in the new The Hobbit expansion looks too much like the artwork for the same item by Marta Nael from LOTR's 2023 crossover.
I'm no art major, but I take my MTG art very, very seriously. And the accusations proved hard to ignore, as the ring on the left, by longtime MTG artist Dan Frazier, looks like a mirrored and smudged version of Marta Nael's famous depiction of The One Ring from 2023.
